PrimaLuna
Tube amplifier manufacturer PrimaLuna USA was founded in 2003 by Herman van den Dungen and Kevin Deal.
PrimaLuna was born out of van den Dungen's desire to bring a tube amplifier to marketplace that was both reasonably priced and did not require constant maintenance. After three years of development, PrimaLuna rolled out the ProLogue series in Europe in 2003, and followed with a stateside release (with Deal's assistance) the following year. This was followed by the DiaLogue series in 2006, which was designed as a step-up product for audiophiles and home theater aficionados.
